Harlow update: 2/1/09 ADOPTED!!!!!

Harlow looks like a doggie that was assembled by Dr. Seuss and painted by Peter Max! ! She has a chow chow face, with a combo chow/terrier body, and terrier wavy hair. She looks like someone dipped her back end in sterling silver paint but left her front end white! Her head has a white strip down the center, and she has a tiny bit of brown above her eyes, which makes her look like she’s pencilled in her eyebrows. Truly, this is a dog made of spare parts! Harlow is approximately 8 months (estimated date of birth = 7/08), has all her shots, a microchip and will be spayed on 1.22.09. She is spunky, playful and fun. She seems to like other dogs and wants to play with them immediately. She was ambivalent toward the cat at the shelter, but because she is young, should be carefully supervised among any feline friends nearby. She chases the ball, but hasn’t quite figured out that she’s supposed to bring it back. She’s MUCH better at ‘Keep Away” and “Tug-o-war.” She will go-go-GO until she wears herself out and then she just wants to huggle with you. She’s pretty good in the car (as long as her leash is slammed in the door to prevent a lap invasion of the driver!) She did NOT like getting a bath but her bather believes she may have never had one before and she was scared. She pulled through like a trooper. No one has heard her bark yet! Because she is such a baby herself, Harlow would do best in a home with children over the age of 8. If you would like to meet Harlow (because seeing IS believing) please contact jenn@rocketdogrescue.org.
